Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups chicken broth low sodium

  • 1.5 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 4 baby bok choy halved lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • scallions sliced green parts only for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot.
  2. Smash the sliced ginger with the side of a knife to bring out the flavor and add to the pot with the garlic, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the bok choy and partially cook for 5 minutes, then add the frozen wontons and mushroom, simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the wontons are heated through and bok choy is tender and wilted.
  4. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil.
  5. Divide soup into four bowls. Garnish with fresh scallions.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze the soup without the wontons. They tend to get mushy after freezing. Just add them fresh when reheating.
  • Tip 3: This soup pairs wonderfully with rice or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • Tip 4: Feel free to switch up the vegetables! Adding carrots or spinach can enhance flavors.
  • Tip 5: This recipe yields four servings, perfect for a family dinner or meal prep.
